Phantasy Calradia

2024 update to 'my' Phantasy Calradia 2018, fixing most issues and adding gameplay improvements.

You MUST set in video options "Load textures on demand" to ON to run this mod stably.

Changes from Guspav's Phantasy:
Diplomacy v4.3, with nothing left out.

Wife as a Companion updated to allow more personalities to join.

Aristocracy creation: families in native span factions, which mixes families across borders in native but causes trouble in the 6 race, 13 faction landscape in Phantasy 2018. Families are created differently, without crossing faction boundaries AND without creating "orphans". All kingdom ladies have fathers/brothers/spouses/or female kingdom lords (as sisters) to ask permission to court. No more having to elope...

Trade, Economy, and Enterprises: the opportunities to speculate in raw goods such as salt, iron, furs, and silk have never been so plentiful. Enterprises pay well, there exists banking services (but with higher interest payments and fewer exploits than you might remember) at the four ways inn, and trade routes that Guspav missed for all the exotic factions were remade so that all factions send kingdom traders correctly throughout the lands.

Auto generated scouts, patrols, and traders: These exist, but in lower numbers than you might recall from other mods, in order to control the total party count. Movement is thus kept very smooth and with no stutter (on reasonably powered PCs), even with the player selecting fast moving wait time.

Adjusting the game to fit your PC: wait time is adjustable in camp menu "Phantasy settings".

Thinking of parading your motley party chock full of racial enemies down main street of that town just ahead? think again -- prejudice against some races may have the town or castle doors shut tight in your face. With 6 races and another two virtual skins (factions that have special likes and hates), everybody doesn't like somebody. Or really be a pariah, and choose to be a Necromancer, with most of the map giving you the bum's rush.

Tired of being confined to 3 evil factions, but you're a magic using Drow? Slip your way into the mageocracy -- where they respect power, not just alignment. As neutral as can be, except the Blazing hand dislikes them.
Thinking Diplomacy randomly allies strange bedfellows? Not so fast. Alliances between traditional enemies break up much sooner than usual; while long time allies tend to form more stable partnerships. Recruiting is easier in villages that don't have a bias against the make up of your party -- and helping the village out during an epidemic is perhaps the fastest possible way to grow good relations with a village.

Take everything you THINK you knew about Phantasy Calradia, 2014 edition, place it gently in the fireplace, set it on fire (safely and carefully), and use it to heat your home this winter. There is nothing familiar about Phantasy 2018, and now 2024. 37 pages of updates notes just for this year alone.

Faction viewer capable of showing more than 7 factions: Yes, but I broke this into two views - one for factions 1-6 and one for 7-13

Tree viewer for troops: one was not sufficient to show ALL troops including every kingdom lord, every companion, and every kingdom lady in real time. Nor every mercenary and bandit troop. Nor every king and queen, every pretender, and even you the player. Instead, 3 viewers show ALL of these. You can see what they carry, the stats, their special abilities, if they can dodge well, all their capabilities at a glance.
Added tools for monitoring the player skills, prejudice, trade routes, total parties on map: of course.

Crafting: 105 newly added recipes
Combat changes: Dodge is limited by a timer, so no more ninja that can't be touched dodge spam. If the target is lucky enough to dodge once, they won't be dodging again for some seconds. They also can't dodge spells and summoned weapons, nor gunfire - although firearms are rare, found only in the Dwarf faction. You can MAKE a pistol, but you can't make the ammunition ... so for better or worse, you won't be handing every squad member a firearm anytime soon.
Stealth attacks: originally needing an overhead of 48 instructions per swing just to decide whether or not the attack qualifies as a stealth attack, this now happens within 16 instructions.

Cleric and mage spells: pretty much every spell has been re-written since Guspav's era.
Resistances by material type, a more nuanced magic and healing system, better control over every spell effect active on every agent, and using far less bandwidth than before to support larger battles.

Auto calc and magic users/clerics: Finally, yes. So long as diplomacy "use terrain in autocalc calculations" is left ENABLED, autocalc ALSO scales magic users and clerics for every battle that gets auto-calculated (sieges where the player is not watching the battle for example).

Wages and morale for Necromancer parties; reinforcements; party size; food consumed by undead: all retooled.
Necromancers have many subtle buffs now. Auto-ressurection of fallen troops? Yes, but it is a small number of them. It stays subtle but it is unexpected, and unique. More waves supported for reinforcement, and a better scaling of battle size. Updates roughly weekly.

DISCORD https://discord.gg/uksGG9HVP7
But don't click that from Steam, Steam corrupts this as of a few days ago. Instead type exactly as Steam shows but don't be lazy and copy from steam, type it manually at a browser. The reason is steam injects more text into that if you use the 'copy" function or click from here, and this gets an invalid invite result at Discord.
